Ice-T and Suzy Amis star as two cops who team up to rescue a scientist, Linden Ashby (!) who has been kidnapped by religious fanatics led by Mario Van Peebles (!) among the group of fanatics include Coolio (!) and Tiny Lister Jr (!!) and the reason they kidnap Ashby is because it is only him that can prevent a meteor from destroying earth, with his expertise. They want to end the world for mainly religious reasons although they are easily thwarted by the "cop-killer" himself. One of the great ironies in showbiz is just how Ice-T gained fame singing a (admittedly catchy)rap song which expressed his overall unhappiness with the men in blue, now Ice-T makes his living playing a cop on Law and Order:SVU! Hilarious. However given his choice of terrible movies (Johnny Mnemonic,Surviving The Game,Tank Girl,Ticker,Gangland and Ablaze) and this is believe it or not one of the Iceman's better efforts. It's still a badly made rip off of Armageddon (Which also sucked) with some extremely awkward acting from Van Peebles, Lister and (especially) Ashby. Indeed the casting director had to have been drunk to cast Ashby as a scientist, also Van Peebles as a religious fanatic? This alone guarantees a couple of chuckles, however the special effects are so terrible that the embarrassing stock footage causes more surreal amazement than genuine hilarity. Still for fans of Ice-T, this is a must see.*1/2 out of 4-(Poor)

OK, maybe I'm missing something here....but I rather think I'm not. Let me get this straight; this is a nice action/disaster movie on the surface. As other commentators have put it, well-worn plot with meteorites about to hit earth and only a couple of days to save civilisation. I am not American, mind, but for an American movie I do see some racial stereotypes repeated over and over here. What we see is a black fanatic church leader making a point of racism in the U.S. So far so good. Further, we see the stereotypical black criminal played by Ice-T. Of course they hate each other because one killed the other's family, but in the end you have what the white audience expects: Two black guys trying to kill each other. Of course the ones that are really concerned with saving earth are the white U.S. military, the white scientist and the white, blonde, female FBI agent. Reese is portrayed as more or less only being concerned with his vengeance. The mole in the military is a white assistant to the general and, everyone else save one in the military staff being white, there's one black guy whom we are supposed to suspect.OK, maybe I'm taking that too seriously for a cheapie video production but I think you don't have to make it THAT obvious. On a superficial level I did enjoy this movie. There was some OK action although the special effects creating the asteroid hitting San Francisco (at least they spared New York this time which was probably already destroyed a dozen times) can probably be reproduced on a home PC. When I thought about it further the above mentioned reservations spoiled it a bit for me.

It was very hard to sit and view this film, but I decided to see what this Judgement Day film was all about. Poor Ice-T,"Up in Harlem",'04, has to make a living and had no choice but play the role of Matthew Reese, a convict who is given a second chance by Suzy Amis,(Jeanine Tyrell),"Firestorm",'98 who played the role of an FBI Agent. Suzy had no make up, looked very bad in close ups and wore her hair in a pig tail and appeared skinny as a bean pole through out the entire picture; I forgot, she did let her hair down, but not for sex. There was lots of quotations from the Bible, and especially the Book of Revelations, where the earth is suppose to be set on fire and the end of the world occurs. Lots of time wasted on talking about eating in a food joint called the Chicken & Waffles. The entire film was a big waste of time, but if you want to waste time, this is the film for you!

great flick especially for direct to video. i think this could have made money in the theatres it was well writen and a good cast and the best performance i seen by ice-t in awhile since probaly new jack city. but i always was a big ice fan. good cast, mario van peebles , suzy amis, coolio, tony'tiny' listson. rent u wont be disapointed. rent u wont be disapointed. rent u wont be disapointed. rent u wont be disapointed. rent u wont be disapointed peace
